he denies it

cumquĕ ( quomquĕ or cunquĕ), adv. [cum-que], serves for the generalizing of any action, event, time, etc., however, whenever, howsoever, whensoever, -ever, -soever.

Usu. with pronn. and pronom. advv.: quicumque, qualiscumque, etc., ubicumque, quotienscumque, etc.—

Very rarely standing alone:

quae demant cumque dolorem,

which remove pain in general, any pain, Lucr. 2, 21:

cum solis lumina cumque Inserti fundunt radii per opaca domorum,

in whatever manner, id. 2, 114:

mihi cumque salve Rite vocanti,

Hor. C. 1, 32, 15 (quotiescumque te vocavero, Schol.): aurum cumque a possessore confertur, Cod. Th. 12, 6, 32; cf. Lachm. ad Lucr. vol. 2, p. 288 (who denies the use of cumque except with relatives).

Leg. 3, 3, 9, the reading is most prob. equitatumque qui regat habeto; so B. and K.; v. Orell. N. cr.

ĕnim, conj. [comp. of ĕ for pronom. stem i, and nam], a demonstrative corroborative particle. (Its position is regularly after the first word, or the first two or more closely connected words in the sentence;

only in the comic writers sometimes at the beginning. Put after est in the fourth place: in eo est enim illud,

Cic. Off. 1, 20, 67:

ab omnibus est enim, etc.,

id. Deiot. 13, 37;

al., see below. Put after quoque: id quoque enim traditur,

Liv. 2, 18; 3, 50; 23, 12; 27, 22; 30, 1; 33, 30; 36, 27; but not in Cicero, v. Madv. ad Cic. Fin. 2, 33, 108, p. 325.—Sometimes it divides an apparent compound:

quotus enim quisque,

Tac. Or. 26 fin.)

To corroborate a preceding assertion, like equidem, certe, vero; hence freq. connected with these particles, esp. with vero (v. under B.), truly, certainly, to be sure, indeed, in fact: Ch. Te uxor aiebat tua Me vocare. St. Ego enim vocari jussi, certainly, I did order you to be called, Plaut. Cas. 2, 4, 2:

ornanda est enim dignitas domo,

Cic. Off. 1, 39, 139:

in his est enim aliqua obscuritas,

in fact, indeed, id. Tusc. 1, 32, 78:

ille (Dumnorix) enim revocatus resistere ac se manu defendere coepit,

in fact, indeed, Caes. B. G. 5, 7, 8:

tum M. Metilius, id enim ferendum esse negat,

it was really not to be endured, Liv. 22, 25:

enim istaec captio est,

this is clearly a trick, Plaut. Ep. 5, 2, 36:

enim me nominat,

positively he mentions my name, id. Trin. 5, 2, 10:

enim non ibis nunc vicissim, nisi scio,

you shall positively not go, id. Pers. 2, 2, 54; id. Capt. 3, 4, 60; cf. id. Most. 5, 2, 12: Th. Quid tute tecum? Tr. Nihil enim, nothing truly, Plaut. Most. 3, 1, 24; so,

nihil enim,

Ter. Ad. 4, 5, 22; id. Hec. 5, 4, 10; cf.:

enim nihil,

Plaut. Bacch. 4, 4, 51: Pa. Quid metuis? Se. Enim ne nosmet perdiderimus uspiam, id. Mil. 2, 5, 19:

tua pol refert enim,

id. Stich. 4, 2, 36:

certe enim hic nescio quis loquitur,

id. Am. 1, 1, 175:

certe enim,

id. ib. 2, 2, 26; id. As. 3, 3, 24; Ter. And. 3, 2, 23.—So too in ironical or indignant discourse:

tu enim repertu's Philocratem qui superes veriverbio!

you indeed! Plaut. Capt. 3, 4, 36:

ex his duo sibi putant concedi: neque enim quisquam repugnat,

Cic. Ac. 2, 13, 41 Goer.; cf. id. Mil. 3, 8; id. Deiot. 12, 33 sq.; id. Verr. 2, 1, 13; id. Phil. 7, 8; Liv. 7, 32; 34, 7; Hor. Ep. 1, 19, 44 al.:

non assequimur. Isti enim videlicet Attici nostri quod volunt, assequuntur,

Cic. Brut. 84, 288;

so (with videlicet),

id. Font. 9, 19; id. Cat. 2, 6, 12: Ca. Faxo haut tantillum dederis verborum mihi. Me. Nempe enim tu, credo, me imprudentem obrepseris, yes, indeed, I believe you are trying to take me in, Plaut. Trin. 1, 2, 23.—

Strengthened by vero, and combined with it into one word, ĕnimvēro (unlike enim, usually beginning the sentence), yes indeed, yes truly, of a truth, to be sure, certainly, indeed:

enimvero Chremes nimis graviter cruciat adulescentulum,

Ter. Heaut. 5, 5, 1:

enimvero, inquit Crassus, mirari satis non queo, etc.,

Cic. de Or. 1, 36; Liv. 5, 25; 1, 51 fin.:

postridie mane ab eo postulo, ut, etc.: ille enimvero negat,

and of a truth, he denies it, Cic. Verr. 2, 4, 66; so,

ille enimvero,

id. ib. 2, 5, 39; Liv. 3, 35 fin.:

hic enimvero,

Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 60:

enimvero iste,

id. ib. 2, 3, 25.—In corroborating replies (cf. certe, I. A. 2.): Me. Ain vero? So. Aio enimvero, Plaut. Am. 1, 1, 188; cf. id. Pers. 2, 2, 2: Sy. Eho, quaeso, an tu is es? Ch. Is enim vero sum, id. Trin. 4, 2, 145: Al. Tun' te abisse hodie hinc negas? Am. Nego enimvero, id. Am. 2, 2, 127; id. As. 3, 3, 98; id. Am. 1, 1, 254: Pa. Incommode hercle. Ch. Immo enimvero infeliciter, Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 37.—And in ironical or indignant discourse: Da. Ubi voles, arcesse. Si. Bene sane:

id enimvero hic nunc abest,

that, to be sure, is wanting here as yet, Ter. And. 5, 2, 7; id. Phorm. 3, 1, 1:

enimvero ferendum hoc quidem non est,

Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 26; Liv. 43, 1; cf. id. 6, 14; 25, 41; 27, 30; 33, 46; 34, 58.

Transf.

To prove or show the grounds of a preceding assertion, for: haec sunt non nugae;

non enim mortualia,

Plaut. As. 4, 1, 63:

mihi vero omne tempus est ad meos libros vacuum: numquam enim sunt illi occupati,

Cic. Rep. 1, 9:

quas (geometricas formas) ut vidisset, exclamavisse, ut bono essent animo, videre enim se hominum vestigia,

id. ib. 1, 17 et saep. —In parenthetical sentences:

quocirca (dicendum est enim saepius), cum judicaveris, diligere oportet,

Cic. Lael. 22, 85; cf. id. Tusc. 2, 24, 58; id. Ac. 2, 7, 22:

rumpor et invideo (quid enim non omnia narrem?), etc.,

Ov. H. 16, 221:

di maris et caeli (quid enim nisi vota supersunt?), etc.,

id. Tr. 1, 2, 1 et saep.—

Sometimes the assertion, the reason for which is given, is to be mentally supplied, Cic. Tusc. 5, 9, 26; cf. id. de Or. 2, 6, 24; id. Leg. 2, 7, 17: Am. Qui istuc potis est fieri, quaeso, ut dicis, jam dudum, modo? Al. Quid enim censes? te ut deludam contra? etc., what then do you think? Plaut. Am. 2, 2, 62; cf. Cic. Tusc. 1, 6, 10; Hor. S. 2, 3, 124; Curt. 5, 8; 10, 2 al.—So the expression: quid enim dicam? commonly ellipt.: quid enim? qs. for what can be objected to the assertion just made? quid enim de T. Tatio Sabino dicam, Liv. 4, 3, 12:

quid enim? fortemne possumus dicere eundem illum Torquatum?

Cic. Fin. 2, 22, 72; 2, 28, 93; id. Fam. 5, 15, 2; Lucc. ap. Cic. Fam. 5, 14, 2; Hor. S. 1, 1, 7; 2, 3, 132 et saep.—

To explain a preceding assertion, for instance, namely: Sy. Si futurum est, do tibi operam hanc. Mi. Quomodo? Ut enim, ubi mihi vapulandumst, tu corium sufferas, Plaut. Poen. 4, 2, 33; Sc Metuo maxime. Pa. Quid metuis? Sc. Enim ne nos nosmet perdiderimus, id. Mil. 2, 5, 19: Lu. Di me perdant, si bibi, Si bibere potui. Pa. Qui jam? Lu. Quia enim obsorbui, why because, id. ib. 3, 2, 21; id. Am. 2, 2, 34; id. Capt. 4, 2, 104; id. Cas. 2, 6, 33; Ter. Heaut. 1, 2, 14:

quod enim,

App. M. 9, p. 228, 16: non igitur videtur nec frumentarius ille Rhodios nec hic aedium venditor celare emptores debuisse. Neque enim id est celare, quicquid reticeas;

sed cum, etc.,

Cic. Off. 3, 13 fin.:

antiquissimam sententiam, tum omnium populorum et gentium consensu comprobatam sequor. Duo sunt enim divinandi genera, etc.,

id. Div. 1, 6, 11; cf. id. de Imp. Pomp. 2, 6. See Hand, Turs. II. p. 374-409.

F, f, indecl. n. or (sc. littera) f. The sign W is the Aeolic digamma, adopted by the Latins instead of 8, the form used by the Etruscans, Oscans, and Umbrians for this letter; in inscriptions, before A.U.C. 500, it is sometimes written. The ancient grammarians, misled by the shape, ascribed to F the power of the digamma; thus: W Aeolicum digamma, quod apud antiquissimos Latinorum eandem vim quam apud Aeolis habuit, eum autem prope sonum quem nunc habet, significabat p cum aspiratione; sicut etiam apud veteres Graecos pro ph, p, et h, Prisc. 1, 4, p. 12. But it is certain that Lat. F never represents the sound of digamma, and etymologically corresponds to it in but a single root (frango; Gr. rhêgnumi, Curt. Gr. Etym. p. 531; Corss. Ausspr. 1, 397 sq. Fick, however, denies any connection between these words, Vergl. Wört. p. 182; cf. Curt. Gr. Etym. p. 511; rhigos, Lat. frigus, was never digammated). The sound of F was nearly that of the Gr. ph, but rougher, Quint. 1, 4, 14; 12, 10, 29; cf. Prisc. 1, 4, p. 14; Mar. Vict. p. 2455 P. Initial F in Latin corresponds to an original Indo-European bh, dh, and gh: 1. To bh, as in fari, fama, Sanscr. root bha-; Gr. pha-, phêmi: ferre, Sanscr. bhar-; Gr. pherô: fuga, Sanscr. bhug-, to bend; Gr. phugê; 2. To dh, as in firmus, Sanscr. dhar-, to support: ferus, Sanscr. dhvar-, to destroy; Gr. thêr (phêr): fumus, Sanscr. dhumas, smoke; Gr. thuein; 3. To gh, as in far, farina, Sanscr. gharsh-, to rub: formus, Sanscr. ghar-, to burn; Gr. thermos, etc. In situations not initial these original sounds commonly gave place in Latin to b, or were weakened to h (v. Corss. Ausspr. 1, 140 sqq.). In writing Greek words, ph was represented by p or b, the Latins having no means of expressing the aspiration ( p-h, not like Engl. ph or f) until the post-Aug. period; but in the later writings and inscr. ph is generally represented by f (Corss. Ausspr. 1, 173; Roby, Lat. Gram. 1, p. 33). Respecting the use of the reversed F (

As an abbreviation, F stands for fili, functus, faciundum. F. C., faciundum curavit. FF., fecerunt. F. I., fieri jussit. FL. P., flamen perpetuus. F. P. C., filius ponendum curavit. F. M., fecit monumentum. F.A., filio amantissimo. F. C. H., fieri curavit heres. FR. or FRU., frumentum, frumentarius.
